SampleTank

Evolver Review

SampleTank is a sound module that lets you build melodies and grooves from 72 included instruments (with up to 400 available through in-app purchases in 16 instrument categories), and set those to over 900 rhythmic and melodic patterns. This allows you to build compositions or perform live with four parts running simultaneously. iRig MIDI compatibility lets you hook up the app to your favorite MIDI keyboard for even more performance options. IK Multimedia offers a free version of SampleTank that lets you try before you buy.
